And this week, Universal Orlando released images, details and a video showing King Kong. The legendary beast that will appear in the new 3-D ride is three-stories tall, 18 feet wide at his shoulders and has a head larger than an automobile, according to Universal Orlando.

But the opening date on the releases from the theme park has always read: "Coming Summer 2016 to Universal’s Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando Resort."

Vague, right?

A few weeks back, Orlando My Way received a "Save the Date" invitation from Universal Orlando for a media preview event on June 22-24. We've been told to mark the calendar "to venture into the next generation of the King Kong legend."

So still no exact opening date for, but ride openings typically take place within a few days or weeks after a media preview event.

In 2014, Universal Orlando opened The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley at Universal Studios on July 8, which was a Tuesday. At the time, the theme park held a media preview from June 17-20, - that's 18 days between the preview and the opening.

Using that logic, Skull Island: Reign of Kong should open around July 10. A representative from Universal Orlando told Orlando My Way to "stay tuned" on an opening date.

Whatever day Universal Orlando opens Skull Island: Reign of Kong, it will be the largest addition to the theme park since the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in 2010.

The 3D ride, which will be one of the longest ride experiences ever created at Universal, will bring the next generation of King Kong to life.

The ride begins on an island with prehistoric creatures of unknown origin. Riders are part of the 8th Wonder Expedition Company, a research team leading the adventure. Aboard specially designed vehicles, you and your team travel deeper into the mysterious island, which is home to Kong.

The new ride is Universal's second time highlighting the world of King Kong. When Universal Studios opened in 1990, Kongfrontation was one of the park's main attractions.

Kongfrontation, based on the 1976 "King Kong" film, closed in 2002 to make way for the Revenge of the Mummy ride.

If there are any more details about opening dates of Skull Island: Reign of Kong, we'll let you know on Orlando My Way. And we'll be there for the media preview and the opening day.
